There is a road that was extremely popular for motorcycle street racers. It is called Okutama-#ShuyuDoro or #奥多摩周遊道路. This video shows a ton of bikes coming past me in the other direction. You can see how many people ride on weekdays. Imagine how busy the weekend must be...
If you ride around Tokyo, I recommend checking this spot out!
Stay tuned to the end. There were some #monkeys in the road!!!
Be careful trying to get this road to load in Google Maps. If the road is closed, they will route you around it. If you try to plan your trip the night before, you may have trouble.
This is an amazing news report about this spot. The security guard said that there were 900 #motorcycles there at one time!!!
• 【特集】奥多摩周遊ローリング族
This video talks about 「ローリング族」 "Rolling Zoku". I translate it as street racer.
In my video, at 10m39s, you can see the 数馬の湯 (Hot spring) where the police set up.
Another video of racers back in the day:
